After Being Strangled By My Girlfriend, I Chose To Inherit The Family Property

For three years, Walt set aside his own ambitions to stand beside Selena, first as her college sweetheart, then as her assistant once she became a top star. He ran out at night for her food, took beatings meant for her brother, and accepted a meager wage without complaint. Yet she never acknowledged him publicly, and when she was caught with her first love, Hans, she used the scarf Walt had given her to strangle him.

Walt wakes again on the very day the news of her late-night rendezvous breaks. This time he tears up nothing: he hands Selena his resignation, packs his few belongings, and tells her it is over. She laughs, certain he will crawl back, but he calls his father and asks to come home, where a family fortune awaits the son who once refused it.

Returning for a necklace from his mother, he finds the door open, Selena on the sofa, and Hans stepping from the bathroom in a towel, holding the necklace and demanding proof it is Walt's. Walt has already stopped being the man who would beg.
